Ozen homecoming off to nice start

The Ozen football team will face one of its toughest District 20-4A tests when it plays Vidor at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Beaumont ISD Thomas Center.

But the Panthers, or at least one of them, got off to a nice start for their homecoming weekend. Offensive lineman Deondre Moore was voted homecoming king at Ozen on Thursday. Moore said he’s the first Ozen football player to receive that honor.
